THE NEW GOLD sAvKs.
Range and valley.

.
These machines are q simple Of
construction - durable. AT the head of
the machine is an ample hopper. From
this the gravel passes into : large
cylinder, about four feet long By 20
inches in diameter, and into coarse
strong screen. The screen 10 made fast
to the cylinder, which makes from Az
to 90 revolutions per minute, the fan
ges on the inside carrying the boulders
and coarse gravel out through spout
at the opposite end, and to one side
of the plate, while all the smaller
particles are forced through into the
cylinder, or machine proper. The in.
side Of this cylinder is copper lined, ,snd
constructed like an auger, three inch
copper Aanges working from the
head Of the machine, making a dis
tance Of l40 feet to be travelled by
the sand from it's entrance into the ma
chine until it is discharged onto the
table. The inside OF this screw cylin-
der, like . battery, is charged. with
quicksilver, so that every particle Of
gold is caught Is it comes in contact
with the plate while tumbling and
rolling through by the revolutions Of
the machine. Through the center Of
the machine also runs . perforated
iron pipe, through which about an
inch and a-half Of water can be forced
with good pressure, the strong jets aid
ing the "digestion" of the machine by
the food, and dissolving the refractory
particles like hydraulic.
The table below the machine has .
quicksilver tank at the head, and at
the foot rifle and slot, with small
bucket At one end, to catch any parti-
Gle of silver or metal that might be
carried over the plate by the gravel.
The machines are = success. Not q
particle of gold ever passed over the
plate into the tailings. A couple Of
hours were spent in panning the tail
ings of last weeks run, in the vain
endeavor to find one color, while the
bar is very rich. They are guaran.
teed to save 95 per cent in all cases
and under reasonable circumstances
100 per cent-or ALL-of the gold
that will amalgamate. The dry pro-
cess can be worked where water II
not handy.
The machines weigh about 5O(
pounds, and may be moved abou
like chair. Their capacity has beer
demonstrated to be rs tons of grave
per 10 hours, with two laborers. 4
child can turn one. An old dump o
gravel bar worth 25 cents per ton
can be worked at great profit. Thes
are facts which will be proven b.
figures.
